I’ve recently started reading David Hornick’s Excellent Venture Blog. He recently discussed Tim Westergren’s trials in creating Pandora a music “genome” site. Having read the story I’m even more impressed with the site. There’s obvoisuly a lot of hard work behind the musical ontology. I’m experimenting with it even now, trying to understand how the search alogrithm is working. If Nothing else I can see this is going to be personally expensive. I’m not sure how much of it will go to Amazon or Apple yet (the buy now choices) but I know this is going to lead me to buy more music than I have in years.
Tim and team well done!
There has been lots of speculation on what’s next with search or what is “web 3.0″… this is it.
